hey guys,
I was browsing the web on how to run 15" wheels and stumbled across the website in the link. I was wondering if anyone has attempted this before. Looking for some input from people who may have experience with this before I go through with it.
Ive posted in other sections without any responses so I thought I'd try general.

U want to get rid of the brembos so u can install 15" wheeels on ur evo ? Well thats just like winning a gold medal and painted silver!

 

^^^ well for car bowling ...

 

have you guys ever heard of drag slicks before?

 

Very nice.

 

are you serious? do you live under a rock too?

haha seriously, the retards on here amaze me daily

 

Bahaha exactly what I was thinking

 

Just get some good tires!

 

I don't live under a rock and I don't understand why he wants to significantly reduce his braking performance to a 15" brake?... the slicks comment was kinda funny

 

STM sells smaller front brake kit for our cars. These might much better option.

^ not bad. you can possibly break even selling your stock brembos.

 

It's called drag racing, you shave so much weight from downsizing to 15" wheels and smaller rotors, not to mention slicks are much cheaper for a 15" wheel....


Please look up STM's Ricer evo, or any other evo that goes faster then 9seconds in the 1/4 and insult their smaller brakes.

 

as a brake designer I'm fully aware, since it wasen't stated it was not clear of his intentions... and the comment on slicks was almost portrayed they only came in 15" lol
Tiny brakes are 100% fine for a 100% drag car as they are secondary function, as you can't use your parachutte on the highway .... or can you?

 

That was exactly my point but people here like to bash before people can talk! Its exactly like on srtforums. Smartasses!

 

That is my thread on DirtyEvo and, yes, I am giving up braking performance, but it hasn't impacted my daily driving one bit. I didn't do it for drag either, I rallycross and have driven a few gravel/snow stages and the smaller, skinnier tires make a bigger difference than the lessened performance from the brakes. That being said, I did this as a cheaper alternative to the $1500+ small brake setups and will be transitioning to a Wilwood setup shortly, but this worked wonderfully all winter and I think is a great option for budget rallycrossers or drag guys apparently haha. Over the summer I switched back and forth for events and the extra hour was worth it.
